Surpringly (at least to me) it looks like they actually have quite a bit of authority.
United States Federal Laws and Regulations for Control of Communicable Diseases
United States Code
The United States Code is a consolidation and codification by subject matter of the general and permanent laws of the United States. Sections 264-272 of the following portion of the code apply: Title 42 – The Public Health and Welfare, Chapter 6A – Public Health Service, Subchapter II – General Powers and Duties, Part G – Quarantine and Inspection. Links are provided by the Government Printing Officeexternal icon.
Not exactly, the authority is derived from laws going back at least 100 years. The links to the actual statues are available in the link I provided previously. I'm reading through some now, and it's a bit scary actually.
No respect for rule-of-law allows the Left to go full on communism. Agencies enforce laws...they do not to create them.
